And ask him who is “we”? Maybe Trump is one of those people who can’t refer to himself in the first person; illeism is the term I think.

Would be simple to figure out who’s actually in charge, but that would mean reporters having to actually go there and report what they see. It’s much more comfortable sitting in AF1 and placating a dementia patient I guess.
